There is currently no sensible way to execute an X11 terminal emulator
in XEmbed mode.

Programs like claws-email, sylpheed, and recently introduced astroid,
supports spawning an editor by use of the XEmbed protocol.

Several X11 emulators support XEmbed, but unfortunately they use
different options to enable that mode.

Attached is a shell script that a) resolves which X11 terminal emulator
is currently called by x-terminal-emulator, b) resolves the option name
used by that particular emulator to enable XEmbed mode, and c) eecutes
x-terminal-emulator in XEmbed mode.

Please include this script as part of sensible-utils.

 - Jonas

P.S.

Specifically for email clients spawning an editor embedded would be yet
another script sensible-xembed-editor, which first resolves if an X11
editor is preferred and available - but let's address this more general
tool first.
